A developer discovered up to 48 different configuration combinations in Cursor's (Codex) model selector. These options cover various model versions (like 5.6 Sol, 5.6 Terra, 5.6 Luna, 5.5, 5.4, and 5.4 mini), with each model typically offering 4 to 5 effort levels and 2 speed options.
Faced with these complex settings, users are discussing best practices for choosing the optimal model, effort level, and speed combinations for different programming tasks.
